Combined flail and balers

[Jack Russell]

There was a thread on here Which named a make of round baler and flail mower combined. I need to cut and collect from an environmental area and this would be ideal if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Good memory @Fendt516profi!

That’s exactly what I used to do for the district council and some environmental groups.
The baler is an Orkel but they’re few and far between now. I do have a couple if you’re interested.

What sort of £££ for one in working order or are they a pair

Is that offset to the left? Surely you can offset to the right as well??
And how often do you trip up going up those cab steps?

I don't think he ever trips up going up those steps

can you not put flail mower on front PTO and normal baler on the back?

In line behind the tractor like a standard round baler.

They don’t have to go as a pair. 1 is better than the other and with the rarity of them I’d have thought it would be sensible to have the older one for spares. I don’t have time for the work these days so a sensible offer would be better than them deteriorating.

Think the pickup reel will struggle to pick up flail cut grass cleanly

A front mower would be much better than a topper so that the baler has a row to pick up. Trouble is you can’t always be sure what you’re going to find in the grass if it’s public areas that you’re cutting.
